Cheerleading

I cheered for three years during high school; I cheered my Sophomore year all the way to my Senior year. Ever since my first year joining cheer I wished I was in it all my four years of high school. Cheering was really fun, and it also helped me break out of my shell. I was a really quiet person, and my family couldn’t believe that I was interested in cheering because of how quiet I was. Even to this day I’m a bit of a quiet person. Well I’m glad to say that cheerleading has changed that because its also something I love to do.

Once I started cheer, the cheer squad started learning how to stunt and stunting is something I love to do when it comes to cheer. Learning all the cheers, dances, and stunts during summer vacation was so tiring but worth it. I loved going to summer practices, even though it was so tiring. When I joined the team I became close to people that I would have never thought I would become so close too. That was another opportunity for me to make friends because I was so shy. I was in the Junior Varsity Squad my Sophomore year and it was fun because I had all my friends cheering with me as well. I remember we didn’t like our captain because she was so stuck up, but we had to deal with her for 1 more year so we had to get over it. But other than that my Sophomore year cheering was so fun; and that year our football team made it to the championship and so we cheered for them. That was another great experience I had, The bleachers were crowed with Mustang fans and it was just so much fun; our football team won the championship too! My Junior year I went up to Varsity; cheering was fun too, but not as fun because there was so much drama.

Senior year I became Captain of the Varsity squad so I knew that this was going to be a good year. Three of my closest friends also became Captains of the squad so we were going to make the best of our senior year. The squad wasn’t just a squad we became like a family. It felt really good knowing that our team didn’t have problems like last years team. We made up a lot of our dances that we performed and they were dances that are squad actually liked. I can honestly say that I was close to every single girl and guy on that squad. I loved how we worked as a team and everyone was so dedicated to getting things done. Even the principal of our school said that we were the bet squad she had ever since she became a principal overall. We went to competition that was way out of our league; but as a team we wanted to go to have a challenge, And we gout 4^th place out of 6 teams that were in our division group. We didn’t have tumbling we just had round off’s and car-wheels, I was so proud of my team and loved them even more. My point is, a team can be more than just your teammates they become family. I was so happy that I was able to have a GREAT cheer Family my senior year cheering. (:
